Should I start Kendre Miller or Pierre Strong Jr. in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 11:16 PM ET.

Start Pierre Strong Jr.: 49 percent of the snaps and 33 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Kendre Miller's 34 percent of the snaps and 49 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Should I drop Kendre Miller for Pierre Strong Jr.?

Not on these numbers alone. Kendre Miller projects 62 market-implied PPR points from Week 7 through Week 17 (6.2 a game over 10 games) and Pierre Strong Jr. 63 (6.3 a game over 10 games), too close to separate, so the roster spot decides it.
